What might a 'cultural' approach to these overlapping areas of study involve? And what could narrative prose in particular have to tell us that other sources haven't sensed? At a time when visual media otherwise seem to have captured the imagination, Modern Fiction, Disability, and the Hearing Sciences makes the case for a wide range of literature. In doing so - through serials, short stories, circadian fiction, narrative history, morality tales, whodunits, Bildungsromane, life-writing, the Great American Novel - the book reveals the diverse ways in which writers have plotted and voiced experiences of hearing, from the nineteenth century to the present day"-- Provided by publisher.
